n represents one of the integers 1 and 2.

wherein D represents the radical of a dye which may contain water-solubilizing groups or of a compound which is convertible into a dye, and, when D stands for the radical of a dye, the radical ti rimust contain at least n sulfonic acid groups and at least one additional water-solubilizing group, with at least 11 moles of a compound of the formula (III) and when D stands for the radical of a compound capable of formation of a dye, transforming the reaction product into a dye by condensation, preferably azo coupling.

Of the compounds of Formula III the following may be specially named: N-aminotetramethylene-imine, N- aminopentamethylene-imine (N-aminopiperidine), N-

3,206,451 Patented Sept. 14, 1965 aminohexamethylene-imine and N-aminoheptamethyleneimiue. Especially interesting is N-aminotetramethyleneimine or N-aminopyrrolidine.

The substituent R is preferably a hydrogen atom or a low-molecular alkyl with l to about 5 carbon atoms (methyl, ethyl), a low-molecular hydroxyalkyl, (2-hydroxyethyl, 2- or El-hydroxypr-opyl), a low-molecular alkoxyalkyl (Z-methoxyethyl, 2-ethoxyethyl, 3-methoxypropyl, 3- or 4-methoxybutyl), a low-molecular halogenoalkyl (2-chloroethyl) or a phenylalkyl, e.g. benzyl.

The radical -X-halogen in Formula II is a halogenopyrimidyl radical or a 4-halogeno-1,3,5-triazinyl-2 radical substituted in the 6 position. The preferred halogenopyrimidyl radicals are dichloro-, trichloro-, dibromoor tribromo-pyrimidyl radicals, e.g. the radicals, which remain after reaction of a chlorine or bromine atom with an exchangeable hydrogen atom, of the following polyhalogenopyrimidines: 2,4,6-trichloropyrirnidine, 2,4,6- tribromopyrimidine, 2,4,5,6-tetrach1oroor -tetrabr0m0- pyra'midine, 2.,4,6-trichloro-S-bromopyrimidine, and the radicals 2,4-dihalogeno-6-1nethylpyrimidyl 5 methylene and 2,4-dihalogenopyrimidyl-S-methylene formed from 2,4-dichloro-5-chloromethyl-6-methylpyrimidine or 2,4- dichloro-5-chloromethyl-pyrimidine or from the analo' gous bromine derivatives.

The preferred 4-halogeno-1,3,5-triazinyl-2 radicals substituted in the 6-position are radicals of the formula Hal wherein Hal represents chlorine or bromine, and w represents the radical, which may be further substituted, of a primary or secondary aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic or heterocyclic amine, an aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic or heterocyclic hydroxy or thiol compound, in particular the radical of aniline, of its alkyl, sulfonic acid or carboxylic acid derivatives, of low molecular monoalkylamines or dialkylamines, or the radical of ammonia.

Water-soluble dyes or intermediates with a halo-genopy-rimidyl radical which can be used as starting products of general Formula II for the reaction of this invention are described, for example, in the following patents: French Patent 1,221,621 (dichloroand dibromo-pyrimidylamino radicals), 'Belgian Patent 578,742 (trichloroand tr-ibromo-pyrimidyl-amino radicals), Belgian Patent 589,972 (2,4-dichloroand 2,4-dibromo-6-methylpyrimidyl-S-methyleneamino radicals) Water-soluble dyes or intermediates with a substituted halogenotriazinyl radical which can be used as starting products of general Formula II for the reaction of the invention are described, for example, in the following patents: Belgian Patents 559,944, 559,945, 560,734, 560,791, 560,792, 560,793, 560,794, 560,795, 563,864.

The reaction of the compounds of Formula II with the compounds of Formula III is conducted in such a manner that an addition takes place with simultaneous quaternation without cleavage of a proton. It can be carried out in aqueous or aqueous-organic, neutral to alkaline solution for suspension, e.g. in the .pH-range 7 to 11. The reaction temperatures can be low to moderately high, e.g. between 0 and In many cases an addiof Formula III.

tion of a salt of low to medium basicity, eg sodium or potassium carbonate, sodium or potassium bicarbonate, disodium or trisodium phosphate, dipotassimn or tripotassiurn phosphate, is of advantage.

A preferred mode of operation of the process consists in the use of excess of the compound of basic reaction of Formula III. In certain cases, e.g. in the quaternation of the readily oxidizable reactive coupling components of the 1,8-amino-hydroxy-naphthalene series, it is advisable to conduct the reaction in the absence of atmospheric oxygen, for example in a nitrogen atmosphere, in order to obviate the use of an unduly large excess of the compound of Formula III.

The reaction time is dependent upon the constitution of the compound of Formula II, the amount of the compound of Formula III, the reaction temperature, the pH value, and the degree of dilution. The time may vary within wide limits, for example from a few minutes to several hours. It can be reduced by increasing the reaction temperature and/or the pH value.

After the reaction the reaction products are precipitated from the weakly alkaline, neutral or, preferably, weakly acid solution, e.g. by the addition of water-miscible organic solvents and/or the alkali metal salts of hydrochloric or sulfuric acid, and filtered off. If necessary the isolated reaction products can be purified by redissolution e.g. in water and reprecipitation from the solution.

When the compounds of Formula -II which are reacted with .a compound of Formula 111 are dye intermediates, the reaction products are transformed into dyes by one of the known methods. For example, if the reaction products contain diazotizable amino groups, they can be diazotized and coupled with coupling components. Reaction products which contain groupings capable of coupling can be converted with diazo compounds into azo dyes. These coupling reactions are carried out in a weakly acid, neutral or weakly alkaline aqueous medium. Products obtained by reaction of a compound of Formula III, with a compound of Formula II, which contains a free amino group, can be converted into dyes by reaction with the acid chlorides of dyes, e.g. the polysulfonic acid chlorides of phthalocyanines.

The dyes obtained in accordance with the process can be dried at 40100 C. with vacuum. They possess a remarkable stability in neutral or acid mediums.

In the process of the present invention dyes or dye intermediates possessing mobile halogen atoms are treated under relatively mild conditions with compounds The distinctive feature of the process is that the compounds obtained as reaction products are much more highly reactive than the corresponding starting products. This is evident in the fact that analogous, known reactive dyes having mobile halogen atoms, upon reaction with compounds of Formula III, can be fixed on textile fibers, notably cellulose, under milder conditions than those normally necessary.

From the difference in the reactivity of the starting products and the final dyes it appears certain that the final products have the constitution of acylhydrazonium compounds:

The central nitrogen atom in these compounds is bound through covalent linkages to three carbon atoms and one nitrogen atom. Owing to their ion-pair structure, they exhibit salt-like character. To this cation corresponds as anion an SO group, to form an inner-molecular compound, the molecule of which has the configuration of a betaine. Similarly to the acylammonium compounds, acylhydrazonium compounds of this type are excellent acylating agents.

It was conceivable that the starting products would have reacted to yield acylated hydrazines:

-XNH-N/\Z U with cleavage of a proton from HaN-NQ \J In contrast to the acylhydrazonium compounds these compounds do not contain a quadruply bound nitrogen atom.

The reaction of acyl halides with hydrazine and substituted hydrazines, e.g. methylhydrazine and phenylhydrazine, to the corresponding acylated derivatives is known. These acylhydrazines are characterized by having substantially lower reactivity than the halogen compounds used in their synthesis. Unlike quaternary acylhydrazonium compounds, they are not generally suitable for use as acylating agents owing to this low reactivity. For the synthesis of acylated hydrazines it is preferable to apply considerably more. vigorous reaction conditions than those used for quaternation of the same halogen compounds with the compounds of Formula III.

The constitution of acylated hydrazines cannot, therefore, be attributed to the products obtained in accordance with the invention. This is surprising, especially in view of the steric structure of the compounds of Formula III.

The quaternation of starting dyes conforming to the present definition is also known. In Textil-Praxis 15, 831 (1960) Wegmann describes a pyridinium salt, which does not lead to a more rapid reaction. It is therefore surprising that the hydrazonium dyes of the invention should be of higher reactivity than the starting compounds.

' fibers, e.g. viscose rayon, cuprammonium rayon; and

mixtures and other articles of these fibers. The optimum conditions of application are governed by the type of fiber and the dyes used.

The dyeing, padding, printing or fixation of the dyes on cellulosic fibers is carried out to best advantage in a neutral to alkaline medium, e.g. in the presence of sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, trisodium phosphate, ammonia, etc. The usual dispersing, emulsifying, thickening agents and other textile or leather chemicals can be used as required.

In comparison with the halogenopyrimidyl and halogenotriazinyl dyes used as starting products, the dyes 0f the invention have the great advantage that they react with the textile fiber much more easily and rapidly. Fixation on cotton, for example, can be efiected at room temperature instead of 100 C., and in the pad-batch process the storage times and/or the amount of alkali or the alkalinity can be reduced.

The dyeings and prints on cellulosic fibers have good light fastness and outstanding wet fastness properties (fastness to washing, water, water-spotting, perspiration, rubbing, sublimation, ironing, dry cleaning or organic solvents). These are due to the formation of a stable chemical linkage between the dye molecule and the cellulose molecule. The total amount of dye applied does not always react with the fiber. In these cases the portion of unreacted dye is removed from the fiber by suitable treatment, eg rinsing and/or soaping, if necessary at higher temperatures, for which purpose synthetic detergents can be used, e.g. alkylaryl sulfonates (dodecylbenzenesulfonate), sodium alkylsulfates (sodium lauryl sulfate), alkylpolyglycol ethers, mono and di-alkyl-phenyl-polyglycol ethers, which may be sulfated or carboxymethylated.

The dyeings and prints on wool and synthetic polyamide fibers also possess good fastness to light and excellent wet fastness properties (e.g. fastness to washing, water, waterspotting, milling, perspiration, sublimation, ironing, dry cleaning or organic solvents).

The dyes reserve triacetate rayon, polyester fibers e.g. polyethylene, terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride and polyvinyl acetate fibers, polypropylene and polyethylene fibers.

In the following examples the parts and percentages are by weight and the temperatures in degrees centigrade.

Example 1 75 parts of the dye sodium l-hydroxy-Z-[3'-(2,5,6- trichloropyrimidyl 4" amino)-phenylazo]-naphthalene- 4,6,6'-trisulfonate are dissolved in 600 parts of water at 40 and pH 8.0. A solution of 17.2 parts of N-aminopyrrolidine in 50 parts of water, adjusted to pH 8.0, is added with stirring. The mixture is stirred for 20-24 hours at 40 and pH 8.0. On completion of the reaction the solution is adjusted to pH 5-6 with hydrochloric acid and the dye precipitated by the addition of acetone. It is filtered off, and the residue washed with acetone, well pressed and dried at 60 with vacuum. A red powder is obtained which dissolves in water to give scarlet solutions.

A suitable dyeing procedure is as follows. 2.4 parts of the dye obtained as described above and 8 parts of urea are dissolved in 100 parts of Water at room temperature. A separate solution of 6 parts of calcined sodium carbonate in 100 parts of Water is prepared. During the padding process the two solutions are mixed in a mixing device in the ratio 3:1 and continuously added to the liquor trough according to the rate of consumption. A mercerised cotton fabric is impregnated with this solution at room temperature, squeezed to retain 70% of its weight of liquor, rolled up and the roll wrapped in an airtight sheet of plastic to prevent drying. After storage for 6 hours at room temperature the fabric is rinsed in cold and hot water, treated for minutes at the boil with a 0.3% solution of a non-ionic detergent, rinsed again and dried. In this way a brilliant scarlet dyeing is obtained which has outstandingly good wet fastness properties and very good light fastness.

Example 2 75 parts of the dye sodium 1-(2",5",6"-trichloro-pyrimidylamino) 7 phenylazo-8-hydroxyazonaphthalene- 2,3,6-trisulfonate are suspended in 900 parts of water at 20 and pH 8.0. A solution of 17.2 parts of N-aminopyrrolidine in 50 parts of water, adjusted to pH 8.0, is added with stirring, upon which the dye goes into solution. Stirring is continued for 24-30 hours at room temperature and pH 8.0, then the solution is made weakly acid and the reacted dye precipitated by the addition of alcohol. The precipitate is filtered off, washed with alcohol and pressed well. On drying at 60 with vacuum, a dark red powder is obtained which dissolves in water with a bluered coloration.

parts of this dye are dissolved in 1000 parts of water. The solution is padded on a fabric of mercerised cotton, which is then squeezed to contain 90% of its Weight of the solution and dried at room temperature. This is followed by treatment for 10 minutes in 1000 parts of an aqueous solution at 25 containing 5 parts of sodium carbonate and 300 parts of sodium sulfate, cold and warm rinsing, soaping at the boil for 15 minutes, rinsing, and drying. A bluish red dyeing with excellent wet fastness properties is obtained.

Example 3 71.6 parts of the dye sodium 2-hydroxy-1-(3-dichloropyrimidylamino) phenylazonaphthalene 6,6',8 trisulfonate, produced from sodium 2-hydroxy-l-(3-aminophenylazo)-naphthalene-6,6',8-trisulfonate and 2,4,6-trichloropyrimidine, are dissolved in 750 parts of water at 40 andpH 7.5-8.0. A solution of 12.5 parts of N- aminopyrrolidine in 50 parts of Water, adjusted to pH 8, is added and the mixture stirred for several hours at a constant pH value of 7.5-8.5, obtained by the addition of 10% sodium carbonate solution. On completion of the reaction the mass is made weakly acid and the dye precipitated with sodium chloride. It is filtered off cold, washed with an aqueous sodium chloride solution, and dried at 40 with Vacuum. On grinding it is obtained as an orange-red powder which dissolves in water to give yellow-orange solutions.

Mercerized, bleached cotton fabric is padded with a solution of 2% of this dye, 1% of sodium sulfate and 0.3% of sodium carbonate at room temperature, squeezed to retain 7 0% of its weight of the solution, rolled up and wrapped in an airtight sheet of plastic to prevent drying. The dye solution and the solution of sodium carbonate and sodium sulfate are prepared separately and mixed immediately before padding, preferably by means of an automatic mixing device. After storage for 6 hours at 2030, the dyed goods are rinsed cold and hot, soaped at the boil for 20 minutes with a solution of 2 parts of a non-ionic detergent in 1000 parts of water, rinsed and dried. A brilliant orange dyeing fast to washing and water is obtained.

Example 4 37 parts of 1-amino-3-[2,5,6-trichloropyrimidyl-(4)- amido]-benzene-6-sulfonic acid are dissolved in 550 parts of water at 50 with the addition of sodium hydroxide solution. The solution is cooled to 20. 10 parts of N aminopyrrolidine are added with stirring, upon which the solution becomes strongly alkaline. It is stirred at 20- 25 during which the pH value slowly decreases and is maintained at pH 8.3-8.5 with 10% sodium carbonate solution. The reaction product begins to be precipitated in colorless crystalline form. Further 10% sodium carbonate soldtion is added until the pH value no longer changes significantly; for this several hours are necessary. The suspension is stirred at room temperature overnight and the precipitated reaction product then filtered off. By washing with dilute common salt solution the filter cake is largely freed of the adsorbed filtrate.

The moist filter cake is stirred in 1200 parts of water at 30. 30 parts of 30% hydrochloric acid are added and sufiicient ice to cool to 10. A dilute solution of 4 parts of sodium nitrite is added. The resulting solution of the diazo compound is of greenish yellow color. On completion of diazotization the excess nitrous acid is destroyed by the addition of some aminosulfonic acid.

To the solution of the diazo compound is added 18.8 parts of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone-2',5-disulfonic acid. The coupling solution is then neutralized by the addition in portions of sodium carbonate. On completion of coupling the golden-yellow dye solution is weakly acidified with dilute acetic acid, heated to 40, and the dye precipitated with sodium chloride. It is filtered 0E and washed with dilute sodium chloride solution. The moist filter cake is dried at with vacuum and then ground to give a yellow powder which dissolves in water and in concentrated sulfuric acid with a yellow coloration.

When the 18.8 parts of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone-2,5'-disulfonic acid used in the above example are replaced by 18.2 parts of 1-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)-3- methyl-5-pyraZolone-4-sulfonic acid, a dye of the same shade and similar properties but of slightly lower solubility is obtained.

30 parts of the dye obtained according to the procedure described above are dissolved in 300 parts of water at room temperature. parts of urea are added to the solution, which is then stirred into 450 parts of 4% sodium alginate thickening. 10 parts of sodium bicarbonate and 10 parts of sodium 3-nitrobenzene-sulfonate are added, the whole is vigorously stirred and made up to a total weight of 1000 parts with cold water.

100 parts of mercerized cotton fabric are dyed in a winch containing 3000 parts of a dyebath prepared as follows. 1.5 parts of the dye synthesized by the abovedescribed procedure are dissolved in 100 parts of soft water at 25 and added to the dyebath which already contains 180 parts of calcined Glaubers salt. The tempera- The goods are entered and worked about in the dyebath for 30 minutes at room temperature. After the addition of 15 parts of calcined sodium carbonate the fabric is dyed further for 1 hour at room temperature. The dyebath is then run off and the dyed goods rinsed in cold and hot water, soaped at the boil for 20 minutes with a 0.1% solution of a non-ionic detergent, rinsed and dried. A brilliant bluish-red dyeing with very good wet fastness properties and good light fastness is obtained.

To the well stirred solution 23 parts of N-arninopyrrolidine are added, on which the pH value rises but then falls again to some extent as stirring is continued. After stirring for about 2 hours-a part of the dye is precipitated during this timethe volume is increased to 1000 parts with water, the suspension neutralized with dilute acetic acid, and the dye precipitated with 100 parts of common salt and filtered off. The filtercake is washed with dilute common salt solution, pressed well and dried at 6080 with vacuum. A dark violet-brown powder is obtained which dissolves in water with a yellow-brown coloration.

20 parts of the dye produced by the above procedure are dissolved with 200 parts of urea and 20 parts of sodium carbonate in 760 parts of cold water. With this solution a mercerized cotton fabric is padded and squeezed to retain 90% of its weight of the solution. While still moist it is dried for 2 minutes at 120, and then soaped, rinsed and finished in the normal way. The brown dyeing has outstanding light fastness and very good wet fastness properties.

When the above dye is replaced by 138 parts of the 2:1 chromium complex compound of sodium l-hydroxy- 2-(2'-hydroxy 5'-nitrophenylazo)-8-(2",5,6"-trichloropyrimidyl 4"-amino)-naphthalene 3,6-disulfonate produced according to the particulars of Belgian Patent 589,104, and the reaction time is extended to about 5 hours, a dye is obtained which dissolves in water to give bluish grey solutions and which gives lightand wet-fast dyeings on cotton and regenerated cellulosic fibers when applied by the pad-batch process in the presence of sodium carbonate at room temperature with about 2 hours storage.

The solution is adjusted to pH 7.5 and then cooled to 0". A solution of '26 parts of N-aminopyrrolidine in 240 parts of water, previously adjusted to pH 7.5 with dilute hydrochloric acid, is added with stirring. The reaction mixture is stirred for several hours at 05. The solution is then rendered weakly acid with dilute hydrochloric acid, the dye precipitated by the addition of isopropanol, and filtered off. The filtercake is washed with isopropanol, pressed and dried at room temperature. A dark powder is obtained which dissolves in water with a blue coloration.

On completion of the coupling the dye suspension is heated to 50 and after the addition of some sodium chloride solution the dye is filtered oh". The moist filtercake is washed with dilute sodium chloride solution and dried at 60 with vacuum. On grinding the dye is obtained as a brown which dissolves in hot water to give red solutions.

When the dye produced as described above is fixed on cotton fabric in alkaline medium, a bluish red dyeing with very good wet fastness properties is obtained.

The reaction product of 1-[2',5',6'-trichloropyrimidyl- (4')-amino]-8-hydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid and N-aminopyrrolidine used above is produced as follows:

250 parts of 1-[2,5,6'-trichloropyrimidyl-(4)-amino]- 8-hydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid are stirred into 2000 parts of water and dissolved with dilute sodium hydroxide solution at a pH value of 7.5 A slow jet of nitrogen is conducted through the solution in order to remove the atmospheric oxygen, and 65 parts of N-amin0 pyrrolidine are then added with good stirring. The reaction solution is stirred for a few hours at 3035 in the absence of air. The reaction product is precipitated by the addition of sodium chloride, filtered off, washed well with sodium chloride solution, and dried.

Example 13 16.8 parts of the dye sodium 1-amino-4-[3'-(4"-chloro- 6"-phenylamino 1",3",5"-triazinyl-2-amino) phenylamino] anthraquinone-2,4',4"-trisulfonate, produced in the normal way, are dissolved in parts of water at 20. 4 parts of N-aminopyrrolidine are added to the solution. The pH value rises immediately but falls slightly on continued stirring. After about 2 hours stirring at room temperature the solution is neutralized, the reacted dye precipitated with acetone and filtered 0d". The filter cake is washed with acetone, pressed well and dried at 60-80" with vacuum. A dark blue powder is obtained which dissolves in water with reddish blue coloration.

When the treatment of the dye with N-aminopyrrolidine is carried out at 60, the reaction is already completed after a few minutes.

The dye of this example, applied to a cellulosic fabric and fixed as described in Example 3, gives a reddish blue dyeing of outstanding wet fastness and very good light fastness.

When the dye used in this example is replaced by the equal amount of the dye sodium 1-amino-4-[4'-(4-chlo- 1 1 ro-6"-phenylamino-1",3,5" triazinyl-2-amino)-phenlyamino] anthraquiuone 2,3',4" trisulfonate, similarly good results are obtained.

Example 14 21.7 parts of 1-amino-Z-carboxybenzene-4-sulfonic acid are stirred into 200 parts of water and dissolved by adding dilute sodium hydroxide solution until a neutral reaction is obtained. An aqueous solution of 7 parts of sodium nitrite is added and the cooled mixture is then run into an ice-cooled solution of 30 parts of 30% hydrochloride acid in 100 parts of ice-water. On completion of diazotization the excess nitrous acid is destroyed by the addition of some aminosulfonic acid.

57 parts of the dried reaction product of 1-[2',5',6'-trichloropyrimidyl-(4')-amino]-8 hydroxynaphthalene-3,6- disulfonic acid annd N-aminopyrrolidine produced according to Example 12, are dissolved in 600 parts of water and the solution cooled to 5.

After the addition of 15 parts of crystallized sodium acetate the diazo solution is run in at 5-10. A readily soluble red monoazo dye is formed. It is precipitated by the addition of sodium chloride and acetone, filtered off and washed with aqueous, acetone-containing sodium chloride solution. On drying with vacuum at 60 and grinding, it is obtained as a red-brown powder which dissolves in water with a bluish red coloration.

15 parts of this dye are dissolved in 1000 parts of water and the solution padded on a mercerized cotton fabric. The fabric is squeezed to retain 90% of its weight of solution and dried at room temperature. It is then treated for minutes in 1000 parts of an aqueous solution at 25 containing 5 parts of sodium carbonate and 300 parts of sodium sulfate, rinsed in cold and hot water,

After rinsing and drying a brightviolet 40 5033 OH QB dyeing with excellent wet fastness properties and good I, I light fastness is obtained.
